I'm highlighting -"Keeping high-need careers within reach". There are so many crucial ways to support therapists to keep them in business and available to everyone.

New LEAP Act Would End Unfair Loan Limits for & Other Grad Programs
The Loan Equity for Advanced Professionals Act (LEAP ACT H.R. 6574), introduced by Rep. Tim Kennedy (NY-26-D) on Dec 10th ensures graduate students can access the same federal student loan limits as “professional” students. This fixes a Department of Education policy that unfairly restricts borrowing for graduate programs like social work, nursing, and occupational therapy.

Watch the press conference we attended alongside members of Congress and other endorsing organizations: https://bit.ly/3MFvo88

Speakers highlighted social workers as essential professionals. The LEAP Act is cosponsored by 19 members of Congress.

It is often difficult to find a therapist for children and those who use Medicare insurance. This can impact care availability for decades.

Social workers spent decades building a profession grounded in advanced education, ethics, and real-world expertise. Now the Department of Education is proposing a definition of “professional degree” that shuts out social work and several other core professions. That change is more than bad policy. It threatens loan access, shrinks the pipeline, and sends a message that the work social workers do every day is somehow less professional.
A public comment period is coming, and we’ll be submitting formal comments and we’ll make it easy for you to do the same.

A degree in social work is a professional degree. It always has been. It always will be.
